When patients contact IllustraDENT because they are dissatisfied with the alignment of their teeth, we can provide one of the most advanced yet inconspicuous orthodontic options on the market: Invisalign®, a clear alternative to braces. Our Manhattan and White Plains & Westchester County-based cosmetic dentists are skilled Invisalign® providers who have the experience and aesthetic eye necessary to transform smiles with this remarkable treatment. With Invisalign®, we can give you the balanced, beautiful smile you deserve.

Patients who have minor orthodontic problems, including crooked or crowded teeth or gaps between the teeth, can enjoy the many benefits of Invisalign®. Instead of the brackets and wires used in traditional orthodontics, the Invisalign® system uses a series of clear plastic trays, or aligners, that gradually move the teeth into line. The trays are quite comfortable and practically invisible. They can also be removed, so you can still enjoy all your favorite foods and brush and floss with ease. Few people will notice you are wearing the aligners, so you can wear the trays to social occasions with confidence.

Since Invisalign® treatment causes little disruption to one’s everyday life, many adults considering their orthodontic treatment options choose Invisalign® clear aligners over braces. Patients in the Manhattan / NYC and White Plains & Westchester County areas considering Invisalign® should schedule a consultation with our cosmetic dentists. We can discuss your candidacy for the treatment and create a plan to help you meet your aesthetic goals.

To begin Invisalign® treatment, you will visit one of our offices for a consultation, during which our cosmetic dentists will help determine whether Invisalign® is the best treatment to help you achieve your cosmetic goals. If it is, you will come in for a second visit, during which we will take impressions and photographs of your teeth and mouth. We will send these impressions to the Invisalign® laboratory, where lab technicians will use them to craft your first set of aligners. The lab technicians will also use computer software to guide your teeth into alignment. They will then design each set of aligners to move the teeth one step closer to a beautiful, straight smile.

You will pick up the first set of aligners from our office and receive detailed instructions on how to wear them (at all times, day and night, removing them only to eat, drink, and brush). As your smile progresses, you will periodically come in for evaluation/treatment and will be given the next sets of aligners.

Although the length of time it takes to complete Invisalign® treatment varies, in general, patients who wear the trays as directed may achieve their desired results in about 6 to 18 months – a clear improvement over braces, which can take several years. Our Manhattan and Westchester County / White Plains offices also offer teeth whitening for patients who want to brighten their smiles after completing Invisalign® treatment.

At IllustraDENT, it is our objective to help patients reach their aesthetic goals and have healthy, balanced smiles. For patients who are dissatisfied with the alignment of their teeth, we offer a clear alternative to braces - Invisalign®. Our Manhattan and White Plains & Westchester County-based team welcomes you to schedule a complimentary consultation with one of our cosmetic dentists. We can help you determine whether Invisalign® is the treatment for you.
